The Australian/NZ release of Alanis Morisette's So Pure, has a remix by Butch Vig on it. It's called the Pure Ecstacy Mix - Extended Mix.

Just discovered... you know those shields Butch has round his drums? Well here's his very own reasoning for them...
"I have custom plexiglass shields over my cymbals to keep the high end frequencies from bleeding into Shirley's microphone....they work really good, it helps keep her vocal clearer in the mix."
